ELMO Bumpy Torus fusion-reactor design study

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5789645
A complete power plant design of a 1200-MWe ELMO Bumpy Torus Reactor (EBTR) is described. Those features that are unique to the EBT confinement concept are emphasized, with subsystems and balance-of-plant items that are generic to magnetic fusion being adopted from past, more extensive tokamak reactor designs. This overview paper stresses the design philosophy and asumptions that led to an economic, 35-m major-radius design that at 1.4 MW/m/sup 2/ wall loading generates 4000 MWt with a 15% recirculating power fraction.
